BOWL SEASON

A unit should be related to each individual bettors bankroll. A common strategy is to have your unit be between 2%-5% of your total bankroll so that you can manage it easily without the chance of going bankrupt with a long losing streak. The 50 unit things are a little outrageous. If I were to play two games, winning 50 units on my more confident pick, and only 20 on my less confident pick, I would be 1-1, but up 30 units. IMO, to most people, this would skew the results and thoughts about betting. I think if you take the extra 0's off of the end, you can get a better understanding on how good of a capper one is if they have these HUGE unit wagers. I understand having the "game of the century" crap where one may want to put 10% - maybe even 20%, although I would never do this - on a single game, but units should be relative to your bankroll. 

No hard feelings UNC, I do think you are a good capper. I just think that some people would respect you even more if you related your units to your bankroll instead of relating it to dollars. GL the rest of 2010, hope you are profitable.

So 3 dimes is too much to bet with the bankroll I have? Last I checked I am small compared to what most bet...

I will do something like this to start next season.

You say your bankroll is 200k.

A dime is worth 1,000 -- therefore making 3 dimes = $3,000.

3,000/200,000 = 0.015

0.015*100 = 1.5%

1.5% is actually less than the normal bet of 2% of your bankroll, not even a large bet, that I explained as good bankroll management.

3000 feels like a lot to me. I dont care about percentages you people look to far into this stuff I will keep betting the same way with what I started with 6 years ago that has built my roll up.

I am somewhat amazed at the criticism some of you guys level at UNC.

Talk about "looking a gift horse in the mouth?" WTF !!

Thank him for sharing the info, follow or fade, and move on....

I dare say no one on this site is really gonna teach him anything nor does he need advice re: bankroll mgt. I'm just saying.....

CRAP------UNC, don't listen to those guys-----jeez, you post your win/loss total----that should be all anybody needs to check his %age picks.

As far as the units, it gives me an idea of his confidence in that game.

What else do you picky people want?  Do yall have a brain?

Why do you people insist on bitching about records and units? Its pathetic you actually know "UNC you pushed last week and didn't add it".

Play his picks or don't.  Quit ruining the threads with your nonsense.  Until your playin for his picks, keep your BS to yourself or go elsewhere.

UNC-----E=mc squared*   Really?  I only want who you think is going to win a game.....ty very much......added bonus......giving me the strength of that play........ty very much.

And for the other guy in the second row, please send him some flowers and a copy of your book, "How I won a million dollars, even though I had screwy units"

And for the guy in the fifth row, he needs your book entitled,"Great money mngmt. by UNC"

shxt shxt shxt.....staggers the imagination 

Let's get that paper tomorrow night on Texas too

I hate to say this as a Buckeye fan and total Matthew Mchaughney hater, but Hook em Horns

Nice call on this one guys U both win lol I push at the moment still 37sec left

Only 3 please
